Question

Children of affluent and educated parents tend to score higher on tests of ability than children of parents living in poverty and who are not well educated. This relationship between socio-economic status and scores on ability tests is because of:

1. genetic differences in ability between different social classes.

2. differences in the adequacy of the biological and environmental factors in nutrition and health care.

3. differences in the cultural and learning experiences provided for children from different social classes.
